June 1994 METAMORPHOSIS, VOL. 5, No. 2 49 _________________________________________________________________ EDITORIAL It is Conference and AGM time again and I would like to encourage all of you to attend this year on the 13th and 14th August for what again looks like an enjoyable weekend. There is still time to send in slides for the photographic competition and to decide to present a paper. Talking about papers, how about more contributions for Metamorphosis? Remember we are always looking for articles about your latest collecting trips and observations. In this issue Ernest Pringle ·has contributed a most thought provoking article about veld fires. I agree with a lot of what he has said and would like to add that annual burning is necessary in the Ruimsig Entomological Reserve to ensure suitable habitat for the rare lycaenid Aloeides dentatis. When the reserve was first established in 1984 and fenced in we carefully surrounded the perimeter with firebreaks to help prevent it from being burnt out. The following year A. dentatis was absent in the reserve but thriving happily on the firebreaks. It appears that the host ant Acantholepis capensis and the foodplant Hermannia depressa (and consequently A. dentatis) like open and disturbed areas. The foodplant, for example, creeps flat on the ground and is easily overgrown with the 1-2 metre high veld grass unless the old growth is cleared or burnt away every year. We do not bum the whole reserve every year, just small sections on a rotation basis. Over the past 10 years this has worked out very well and the colony of A. dentatis on this small 12 hectare reserve is as strong or stronger than at any time since it was discovered at the site in 1963. W.H. Henning Euxanthe wakefieldi (Nymphalidae: Charaxinae), fifth instar larva, head and pupa June 1994 METAMORPHOSIS, VOL. 5, No. 2 50 _________________________________________________________________ COMMENT BY THE PRESIDENT The study of Lepidoptera in our country has come a long way over the past thirty years. One of the people who has led the way and done much to unravel the mysteries of the butterfly fauna of the Cape is Victor Pringle. With his love of nature and dedication to the study and conservation of butterflies he has served as a shining example to us “younger" butterfly enthusiasts. Recently Victor has had problems with his eyesight and he has reluctantly resigned from the Society. He says he is virtually blind and has difficulty reading anything at all and will now have to rely on his son Ernest to keep him up to date on the butterflies. However, I am sure one of the highlights for him over the next few months will be the publication of the second revised edition of Pennington's Butterflies of Southern Africa which was co-edited by Ernest. I, on behalf of the Lepidopterists' Society of Southern Africa, would like to pay tribute to Victor Pringle for his contribution to the study of butterflies in South Africa. Stephen Henning Phasis pringlei male underside June 1994 METAMORPHOSIS, VOL. 5, No. 2 51 _________________________________________________________________ REGIONAL ROUNDUP The last few months have been pretty quiet for many collectors what with the elections and the unrest situation but some collecting trips were undertaken. Some of those who have been out have enjoyed reasonable success. Chris Ficq has spent a lot of time in. the Cape and has collected a number of Torynesis of various species in various localities and he also went to Zululand where he collected a number of Acraea rabbaiae Ward and some Anthene minima (Trimen). There was also a society gathering in Zululand organised by Hermann Staude about which we hope to have an article written, although apparently butterflies were in short supply. · Several trips to eastern Zimbabwe were made by Andrew Mayer, Johan Greyling and Steve Woodhall. Some of the notable species recorded by them are as follows:- Hesperiidae Borbo micans (Holland) collected in a marsh by Andrew; Platylesches picanini Holland; Chondrolepis niveicomis (Plotz); Gorgyra johnstoni (Butlar); Pieridae Mylothris carcassoni was seen in the Santi forest by Andrew and Johan but they were flying so high around the treetops that it was impossible to get close to them. It is however nice to know that they are still around as this species is the only Zimbabwe species listed as VULNERABLE in the conservation review of southern African butterflies published in our Practical Guide. Mylothris sagala umtaliana Van Son was also flying and Andrew managed to capture a couple. Lycaenidae A very dark grey female Leptomyrina was recorded by Andrew but as this genus from Zimbabwe has not been investigated adequately it cannot be conclusively identified. It does however resemble Leptomyrina gorgias sobrina Talbot which is known from further to the west. Lipaphnaeus adema spindasoides (Aurivillius); Deudorix zeloides (Butler); Deudorix lorisona coffea Jackson; Deloneura sheppardi Stevenson; Teriomima puellaris Trimen. Nymphalidae Precis artaxia Hewitson; Sallya rosa (Hewitson); Neptis penningtoni Van Son; Charaxes manica Trimen. Rudolf Swart and Daan Humphris also visited eastern Zimbabwe, they were there from 26th March to 1st April. Rudolf reports that the forests were very dry in the Mutare, Vumba, Burma Valley, Bomponi/Pungwe areas but that Mt. Selinda and Rusito were not bad. He thanks Rob Pare and John Daffue for directions to collecting spots. Rusito Forest is a bird watching locality! In Rusito Rudolph and Daan collected Oboronia bueronica Karsch, Neptidopsis ophione velleda (Mabille), N. fulgurata platyptera Rothschild & Jordan, Neptis carcassoni Van Son and Acraea satis Ward. They found Acraea insignis gorongozae Van Son at Pungwe along with T. puellaris. At Mutare they found Euphaedra mardania orientis (Karsch). At Mt. Selinda the following species were recorded; Pentila swynnertoni Stevenson, Salamis cacta (Fabricius), Apaturopsis cleochares schultzei Schmidt, Cyrestis pantheus sublineatus Lathy, Euriphene achlys (Hopffer). For such a short trip a lot of ground was covered and some good captures recorded. Just to show me what I was missing Rudolf sent me a photograph of some perfect specimens of Sallya rosa Hewitson. He also sent along pictures of a melanistic male and a partial mosaic gynandromorph of Belenois gidica (Godart). Talking of gynandromorphs, Martin Krüger showed us a specimen donated to the Transvaal Museum by Neville Duke of an almost halved gynandromorph of Appias epaphia contracta Butler, quite spectacular! June 1994 METAMORPHOSIS, VOL. 5, No. 2 52 _________________________________________________________________ Another contribution by Rudolf Swart was a series of photographs of the variety of female forms of Appias sabina phoebe (Butler) which he has recorded. This species was out in some numbers at Woodbush and Malta Forest (Lagalametsi) as seen by Paul Kruger. Gordon Fraser-Grant reports the following from Cape Town where he saw "a male Hypolimnas misippus (Linnaeus) in the Silvermine Reserve, Cape Town on 15 March 1994. This I believe may be the first recorded sighting in the Cape Peninsula since Dr André Claassens’ report of 4 April 1988. (Metamorphosis No. 22). The insect was flying low and slowly around some Protea bushes on the opposite side of the road above which I was standing. It was there for long enough· for me to make an identification before it flew off. But unfortunately not long enough for me to collect it." This story of sightings recorded well away from normal habitats reminds me of a story that happened in February 1974. We were in East London on a collecting holiday and had the pleasure of accompanying Clive Quickelberge to one of his favourite collecting sites just outside town. This was a series of small hilltops high above a river with a pronounced horseshoe bend. I had gone ahead and arrived at a small hilltop. There sporting about was a Charaxes jasius saturnus Butler. It settled on the end of a branch in front of me. I looked closely at it and saw that it was an extremely worn and broken specimen. Like a good Transvaal collector I gave it a playful jab with the pole of my net and watched happily as it took to the wing and flew from sight. Some twenty minutes or so later a delighted Clive hurried up to us with a great treasure clutched in his hands. There in his fingers was this old broken saturnus, and to Clive's great glee he pronounced that saturnus had never been collected so far south before! If you read Pennington's Butterflies you will see this record.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Kogyae Strict Nature Reserve, the only one in Ghana, was established to promote scientific re- search, particularly on how nature revitalizes itself after major disasters, and also to check the southward drift of the savannah grassland. This study presents the first comprehensive inventory of species composition and diversity of insects of the Reserve. Insects were surveyed between September 2011 and June 2012 to capture the end of the rainy season, the dry season and the peak of the wet season. Samples were taken from two sites within the Reserve, Dagomba and Oku using various sampling techniques including pitfall traps, malaise traps and sweep nets. Insect com- munities were characterized in terms of, 1) species richness estimators, 2) species richness, 3) Shannon-Weiner Index of Diversity, 4) Pielou’s evenness and 5) Bray-Curtis similarity.

During the present study, a total of 675 moth specimens were collected from the study area which represented 112 species from 16 families and eight super families. Though much of the species has been reported earlier from other parts of India, 15 species were first records for the state of Kerala. The highest species richness was shown by the family Erebidae and the least by the families Lasiocampidae, Uraniidae, Notodontidae, Pyralidae, Yponomeutidae, Zygaenidae and Hepialidae with one species each. The results of this preliminary study are promising; it sheds light on the unknown biodiversity of Vagamon hills which needs to be strengthened through comprehensive future surveys.

Rajapaksha1, C. de Alwis1 1Butterfly Conservation Society of Sri Lanka, 762/A, Yatihena, Malwana, Sri Lanka 2 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Larval food plants (LFPs) of Sri Lankan butterflies are poorly documented in the historical literature and there is a great need to identify LFPs in conservation perspectives. Therefore, the current study was designed and carried out during the past decade. A list of LFPs for 207 butterfly species (Super family Papilionoidea) of Sri Lanka is presented based on local studies and includes 785 plant-butterfly combinations and 480 plant species. Many of these combinations are reported for the first time in Sri Lanka. The impact of introducing new plants on the dynamics of abundance and distribution of butterflies, the possibility of butterflies being pests on crops, and observations of LFPs of rare butterfly species, are discussed. This information is crucial for the conservation management of the butterfly fauna in Sri Lanka. Key words: conservation, crops, larval food plants (LFPs), pests, plant-butterfly combination. Introduction Butterflies go through complete metamorphosis 1949). As all herbivorous insects show some and have two stages of food consumtion.

  • Chapter 15. Central and Eastern Africa: Overview
    Chapter 15 Chapter 15 CENTRAL AND EASTERN AFRICA: OVERVIEW The region as treated here is comprised mainly of Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo (Brazzaville), Congo (Kinshasa) (formerly Zaire), Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. The wide variety of insects eaten includes at least 163 species, 121 genera, 34 families and 10 orders. Of this group the specific identity is known for 128 species, only the generic identity for another 21, only the family identity of another 12 and only the order identity of one. Gomez et al (1961) estimated that insects furnished 10% of the animal proteins produced annually in Congo (Kinshasa). Yet, in this region, as in others, insect use has been greatly under-reported and under-studied. Until recently, for example, the specific identity was known for fewer than twenty species of insects used in Congo (Kinshasa), but, in a careful study confined only to caterpillars and only to the southern part of the country, Malaisse and Parent (1980) distinguished 35 species of caterpillars used as food. The extent of insect use throughout the region is probably similar to that in Congo (Kinshasa) and Zambia, the best-studied countries. Research is needed. Caterpillars and termites are the most widely marketed insects in the region, but many others are also important from the food standpoint, nutritionally, economically or ecologically. As stated by this author (DeFoliart 1989): "One can't help but wonder what the ecological and nutritional maps of Africa might look like today if more effort had been directed toward developing some of these caterpillar, termite, and other food insect resources." The inclusion of food insects in the Africa-wide Exhibition on Indigenous Food Technologies held in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1995 is indicative of the resurgence of interest in this resource by the scientific community of the continent.

  • Some East African Butterflies 41
    SOME EAST AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES 41 In this article only those trees and plants which are con• spicuous by their flowers, leaves, or habit of growth have been mentioned, and no account has been taken of cultivated plants with the one exception of those two mentioned as growing at Simba Station. To mention all the trees and plants to be seen near the railway would require a very large volume. The object of the writer has been to try to show the large variety of plants and trees which may be seen by any observant person when travelling on the Uganda Railway. From the bamboos of the Kikuyu escarpment to the mangrove swamps of the coast, with all the enormous variety of plants and conditions of climate between, is a far cry, and yet it can all be seen within twenty-four hours! Specific names have only been given in cases where specimens have been identified at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, or have been identified in the ' Flora of Tropical Africa,' or Engler's' Flora of German East Africa.' [The Solanum campylacanthum mentioned several times in the article i~ one of the best known plants in East Africa both to natives and Europeans; it is generally about two. to three feet high and bears a conspicuous yellow tomato-like fruit about seven-eighths inch in diameter. This fruit plays a part in native ceremonial among the Nandi, Kamasia,Bantu Kavirondo, and A-Kamba, and its influence is generally believed to avert evil or promote peace. The Swahili name is ' Tunguja,' and this name is derived from ' Tungu,' which means a whitlow, because it is believed that a poultice made of the fresh fruit will reduce the swelling and alleviate the pain.-EDITOR.
